Solutions Overview: Fine-Tune Your Files After Compilation

A lot of an application's resources can be changed AFTER compilation, at the post-build stage of development. So why bother with resources at design time, when you can fine-tune all your Vista icons, strings and version numbers at the post-build stage along with code signing and protecting.

Resource Tuner Console will take all the pain out of the patching process, and customize your single source .EXE file with new icons, bitmaps, logos, custom strings, version variables, manifests and more. Setting up an automated way to apply your changes couldn't be simpler.

Easy Way to Update The Version Information

This is the most wanted feature: an automated means of stamping the file version information during the release process. You need to update executable version numbers, some strings in the VersionInfo such as StringTable, Legal Copyright, or Product Name, but you don't want to recompile the entire file. All these and many other tasks can be done with Resource Tuner Console by having it working with a simple script.

If for whatever reasons, your files contain no
Version resource, Resource Tuner Console will add this resource for you.

Any Manipulations Of Icons Made Easy: Adding, Replacing and Sorting Icons

Vista icons are probably the biggest pain point as not every IDE allows for embedding this resource type, and not every installation software creates installer EXE's with the right icons embedded.

Resource Tuner Console addresses this issue by letting the developer embed these icons into the compiled EXE or DLL files at the post-build stage. Not only does Resource Tuner Console handle the large Vista icons in .ico format, it supports for adding Vista-style icons in .png format. From now on, you no longer have to worry about how your applications look on Vista.

Adding or Replacing Embedded XML Manifest Files

If you have problems with automatically injected manifest resources in your programs or installers, and would like to get rid of this problem once and for all, Resource Tuner Console offers a solution by enabling you to inject the needed resource directly into the EXE file at the post-build stage.

You Need A Viewer to See The Changes Made

That's why we offer Resource Tuner GUI, a visual resource editor. It gives you the power to quickly browse and visually modify executable file resources from within the file. With the powerful Resource Tuner, you no longer need to suffer with a bunch of other viewers.

Both products are great compliments to each other: Resource Tuner Console makes changes, Resource Tuner GUI lets you check and verify the changes made. Read more...
